[Intro]
Em C G D
Em C G D
 
[Verse 1]
Em                             C
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
G                          D
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
Em                           C
I don't know what you're expecting of me
    G                     D
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
C                                  D
     (Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
      Em                     G                 C
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
                                D
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
 
 
[Chorus]
Em             C                      G
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
          D                    Em
Become so tired, so much more aware
             C                   G
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
                D                   Em
Is be more like me and be less like you
 
 
[Verse 2]
                            C
Can't you see that you're smothering me?
G                     D
Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control
Em                             C
'Cause everything that you thought I would be
    G               D
Has fallen apart, right in front of you
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
C                                   D
      (Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
Em                        G                  C
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
                              D
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
          Em                          G
And every second I waste is more than I can take
 
 
[Chorus]
Em             C                      G
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
          D                     Em
Become so tired, so much more aware
             C                   G
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
                D                   C
Is be more like me and be less like you
 
 
[Bridge]
        D        Em  D/F# G G/B   C
And I know I may end up failing, too
         D          Bsus4
But I know you were just like me
 
With someone disappointed in you
 
 
[Chorus]
Em             C                      G
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
          D                     Em
Become so tired, so much more aware
             C                   G
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
                D                   Em
Is be more like me and be less like you
 
 
[Chorus]
               C                      G
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
                             D
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Em             C                      G
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
                             D
I'm tired of being what you want me to be

so sad about Chester. he was a great talent and never seemed like an asshole like so many Rockstars do. he will be missed. I think because Linkin Park had a little bit of a manufactured feel a lot of their music got discounted by a lot of people. to sing the way he did in Linkin Park and then take over for Scot Wylen in STP.. what an incredible singer. RIP Chester.
